Nothing ventured, nothing gained

My latest venture is court heraldry. I've been a warranted member of Brigantia Staff for about 13 years, and dabbled in heraldry for most of the last 20+ years - but this weekend was only my second trial of court heraldry. After considerable pestering - and perhaps also baronadhemar being ill had something to do with it - he finally let me read a scroll at Hrim Schola early this month. I did all right, because in mid-court alethea_eastrid handed me another and said, prepare to read this one too.

This week Adhemar seemed to take for granted that I wanted to read again, and asked me to show up before court for assignment. Cool! He even indulged my request to read hakamadare's AOA. Plus I got to read Roz's Commendation/Safe Travels scroll. (She is moving to Atlantia, pout. Hey kfitzwarin and alienor, take good care of Rosalind Bennett when she turns up.)

I was much more comfortable this week. I apparently could be heard at least halfway back the hall. Now to work some more on pacing and breaths, so I don't end up breathing three words short of the end of a sentence. Definitely need more practice - but it looks like I'll be allowed to get that!

And if you can say "societatis" 5x, fast.... *grin*

Seriously, I had no idea Roz was heading south too. She's the 2nd person I know heading there... I'm trying to import in a couple of friends from down that way. But that's down 2 heralds for 1 in return, even if they do make it up this way.

Gonna miss Rosalind. *sigh* (And Gise, too, even tho we just met a couple of months ago).

I'd heard that Rosalind Bennet was heading out of town. Dammit. Probably really good for her family, though.

If I can be of help to you with projection etcetera, don't hesitate to ask.

I could hear you find from the back part of the balcony. You sounded fine, calm, and very professional. I had no idea this was only your second try at this.

I was on the balcony (royal "room"), and you were perfectly loud and clear
